_HERE'S A MERRY BOOK BY A MERRY MAN_

THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET

By MARSHALL P. WILDER

_Author of "Smiling 'Round the World"_

"His book--like American conversation--is made up of anecdotes. He talks intimately of Richard Croker, President McKinley, President Harrison, Joseph Jefferson, Senator Depew, Henry Watterson, Gen. Horace Porter, Augustin Daly, Henry Irving, Buffalo Bill, King Edward VII., Mrs. Langtry, and a host of other personages, large and small, and medium-sized. He tells many good stories. We can recommend his book as cheerful reading."--_New York Times._

"What the editor thinks of it may be summed up in the statement that he uses it instead of calling the doctor."--_Burlington Hawk-Eye._

"Reading the book is like listening to a humorous lecture by Marshall P. Wilder, full of wit and brightness, and it will cheer and comfort the most morose man or woman just to read it."--_Baltimore American._

_Author of "The Sunny Side of the Street"_

"_Laugh and the world laughs with you_" can be truly said of Marshall P. Wilder, the captivating entertainer of Presidents, Kings, Princes, and the great public. As the Hon. Chauncey M.

"There are many cheerful, amusing incidents of travel. It is a very readable and entertaining book."--_Democrat and Chronicle_, Rochester, N. Y.

"A marvelous lot of 'sunny stuff' is to be found in Mr. Wilder's latest book. He merrily prattles of a thousand different things and of as many different people."--_Record_, Philadelphia, Pa.

"Written in that bright, breezy manner, with its mingled touches of humor and pathos and keen scrutiny of human nature so characteristic of Mr. Wilder."--_Post_, Boston, Mass.
